Express News | The 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and gold prices has risen to +0.50, reaching its highest level since the onset of the pandemic in 2020.

On September 6, The Kobeissi Letter reported that the price movements of Bitcoin and gold are increasingly synchronized: the 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and gold prices has risen to +0.50, approaching the record high set during the pandemic in 2020. This figure has more than doubled since the beginning of this year. By comparison, following the recovery from the 2022 bear market, the 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and gold peaked at only +0.30. The recent rapid increase in correlation accelerated primarily after the U.S. Treasury announced on August 19 that it would at least double the size of its long-term Treasury bond buyback operations. The Treasury plans to increase the repurchase amount per operation from $2 billion to $4 billion. Meanwhile, the 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq 100 Index has fallen to approximately +0.30, marking a new low for the past year. Investors are increasingly viewing gold and Bitcoin as assets to hedge against currency depreciation.

The consolidation period appears to have triggered uncertainty among nearly all types of investors, including the most experienced "OG" holders. However, these transfers do not necessarily indicate selling; some may reflect movements of BTC to more secure storage methods due to factors such as the Coldcard incident.
